> Hello, my name is Alana and I am a newbie!!  I need some friendly advice.
I have "inherited" (Thru purchasing the modest home attached!) an iris
garden.  I have no idea what I need to do next.  The irises that bloomed I
believe to be mostly bearded iris, but fully 1/2 of the garden did not bloom
this year so I don't know what kind they are.  I need to know what I do now.
I want to divide this bed out and place the irises in other places in my
yard.  I have a mature pine tree that I would love to put some irises
around, but I don't know if they do well under a pine tree.   I have
identified at least 10 different color varieties from what did bloom this
year.  I need to mention here that this "bed" is over 80 feet long, and at
least 10 feet wide at its widest point.  So I have a LOT of dividing to
do....I live in Zone 6 (Nashville TN).  I also have another area in my front
yard that gets full afternoon sun (as does this "bed") that I would like to
transplant to.   I hate to!

Thanks!
